1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
I chose Etsy because it is a wobnderful site and I feel completely at home here!
I'm going to sell on a new norwegian site too. It's opening next monday.

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
I love to buy handmade cards, plush toys and jewelry, and soap and, almost anything, I guess... But I stay away from heavy and breakable items, since I live in Norway.

3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$?
It must be these fabolous buttons from artmind.

4- Any advice for new sellers?
Keep your shop "clean". Don't put all different sorts of items in it togheter. Try to keep one style. Take great photos. (Heard that one before?) Be friendly and give your customers an even better service than they expect. Always think quality! Visit the Virtual Labs.

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
We chose Etsy because of its unique collection of handmade and one of a kind goods and felt it was a great place to showcase our custom printed t-shirts. We also sell on ebay and recently opened our own web store at zenthreads.com.

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
I love the jewelry! Too many great things to choose from. Nothing is better than finding that perfect ring or necklace that no one else in the world owns but you.

3-What is your current fave product(not in your store) under 20$?
Flying Dachshund T-Shirt from MisNopalesArt- super cute!

4- Any advice for new sellers?

Sell something you are passionate about. Take good pictures, be patient, and do your research.

Has to be from Tom Waits... "Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends."

The Kelly Pot Holder from Prettyinpurple.etsy.com

Ive used Joel Dewberry's light yellow demask and Amy Butler's polka dots. To protect your hands from the hot oven, roasting dishes etc, this beautiful fabric is covering Insul-Bright.

It measures approx 20.5cm square (8 inches). You can also use it as a trivit to protect your benchtops and dining tables from hot dishes.

1-Why did you choose to sell on Etsy/ and do you sell anywhere else?
I chose Etsy because I love their "Buy Homemade" theory. Don't get me wrong, I still buy from the corporate conglomerate shops, just not as much as I used to. If we all support each other then we would have less need to "go to the shops".
I also sell at various craft markets around Perth (Western Australia). Im a regular at the Mundaring Markets which is the second Sunday in the month. This is meant to be purely craft and fresh produce, however, ive seen some cheap imported stuff creeping in (not happy about that)

2- What is your fave thing to buy on Etsy (whether it be supplies or gifts etc.)
I LOVE to buy my fabrics on Etsy. For a start its cheaper than what I can get it in my local shops, it gets delivered straight to my front door and i don't have to drag the kids to yet another fabric shop (cause they really like that - not).
Lately I've been searching Etsy for some really cool Christmas presents - I like to be organised and hate leaving things to the last minute.

3-What is your current fave product/SELLER(not in your store) under 20$?
My favourite Etsy fabric Seller would have to be Fabricshoppe. The fabric is beautiful and just what I want. Jody's service is fantastic and the postage is fast, which is really important to me as things always take longer to get to me "Down Under".
My favourite Perth Sellers are: Neddynibbles for really cute vintage inspired aprons, Delightsociety for devine soaps, Staceytara for unique jewelry and Trio for groovy Blyth clothes.

4- Any advice for new sellers?
Always answer convo's. List something at least every second day to keep your shop current and at the top of the list, even if it means re-listing something. Shop around and "heart" other shops because we all check to see who "hearts" us. This creats more traffic to your shop.

5-And a favorite quote?
"If its not your's don't touch it". It's not a famous one, just one that I say to the kids everyday!!!
